I bought a pineapple a while ago and it has been sitting on the counter begging to be made into something. So, I decided to pull out the juicer and use it as the base for a sauce. I am not the biggest pineapple fan, but this dish is quite tasty and very easy to make on a busy night. I like the addition of heat to a fairly standard sweet n' sour sauce--you can always add more curry paste if you want it hotter.

3. Heat a wok over med-hi heat. Add oil and fry tofu cubes until golden. Add green peppers and fry for 2 mins, until softened but not soggy. Add sauce to the wok and bring to bubbling. Add cooked noodles and mix well. Add some salt, if needed. Let sauce thicken and coat the noodles. Stir in green onions and serve.

I'm new to your blog, and I am SO excited to try all your recipes. You're incredible! So talented! I am, in two days, a huge fan.

I'm also really happy to see an example of a man being creative and caring for his kids this way. My partner (also a man) is interested in vegan cooking, but few men seem to be interested in it. Most of his interests seem to be monopolized by women, so when I told him about your blog, he was really glad. Finally there was another man out there who cared about being a good dad, feeding his kids, and being creative in the kitchen. So many talented women have lead the way via blogs and home cooking, and now a talented man! Go Vegan Dad, go!

this looks great!Did you still have to "peel" the pineapple or did you just toss it in the juicer in cut up chunks?I was thinking it would be nice if I could get some of the juice that I cut away when preparing the pineapple. Just wondered.I finally got the courage to buy the staples needed for making seitan after seeing your great posts about it.. Thanks for all the inspiration!

aplaceforus, you don't have to peel pineapple in order to juice it. but, i recommend (for certain applications at least) straining the juice through a mesh strainer (i use a paint strainer mesh bag personally...just like a nut milk strainer only 1/10th the price!)
